    Well, I'm loving mine. All the trouble I had was due to the crappy memory I bought! Other than that, it is just perfect!

    the board is garbage and many issues with many differant makes and brands of memory. a good board in my opinion doesnt need a tight QVL on memory

    I've run Elpida, Promos, and Micron D9 in this board without any compatibility issues.
    Start listing what else is wrong with this board before you start some tasty flamebait.

    You do own one of these, correct? The board retailed for $120, what were you expecting?

    I found myself building my first AMD Rig a learning experience first of all starting out with the wrong speed of ram 1333mhz. I can kick myself with not buying some 1600mhz instead but as said you learn as you go...I got the ma790xt-ud4p matched up with the 965BE C3 cooled by the ECO alt along with the F3-10666CL8D-4GBHK kit from G.Skill, Now the ram is funny acting straight out the box at timing 9-9-9-24 if you even try to tighten it to 8-8-8-21 it will ran for awhile and fall flat on it's face Latency at 9-9-9-24 is 49.9ns and at 8-8-8-21 it's 47.7ns now where talking at 1372 mhz/ 2 = 686mhz,The cpu @ 3914mhz = 206x 19.0 here's a sample of my speeds

    I find having to buy some better memory also my eyes are set towards Kingston Hyper X's 1600mhz I've searched around and found they have the better Latency Straight out the box...

    GigaByte MA790XT-UD4P Rev1.0,965BE@3926Mhz,
